You know, I love a good romantic ship and watching characters go through the romantic shit of defying cruel fate and reuniting despite evil and all that "I love you no matter what" shit.

But after a while, the declarations of love become somewhat cringey and tropey and instead of feeling with the characters and rooting for their relationship, it makes me gag. Like Snow White and Prince Charming in Once Upon a Time, for example.

I love the show and the characters, but after some time of the same fucking thing, their "love story" became just bland and their promises to each other kinda empty.

It got boring in a sense. I don't know why.

But never, in 7 seasons of the show, did I feel that way about FitzSimmons.

The ultimate "universe is against us" could have very well become an empty overused phrase, used to excuse the inability to comunicate and solve problems within the relationship.

But it...didn't.

It actually felt very real and human. It conveyed the frustration but not the lack of trying to make things work.

FitzSimmons are full of tropes, good tropes, but they work with them very realistically. Still to please the audience, but at the same time they know real relationships take work, effort and trust.

Somehow they made me believe their lovestory. So kudos to the AoS team and actors, cause they understood the assingment and fucking delivered.

Eunome Lee, Asura Elementalist (and super cute being of ultimate adorableness)

Well,well,well. My Valentine’s present to myself-as all of my characters are,she is based off a certain emotion/idea/event. This time, it is a character created around the idea of love. 

BUT WAIT RIO. Don’t you already have a character created based off your idea of love? Why yes, i do indeed, if I may direct your attention to one of my first characters,the cute little Amalthea. However, over the past year I have felt myself growing distant from Amalthea’s portrayal. She is still near and dear to my heart,but the love she represents is no longer what is prominent and important to me. The love you find in Amalthea is the type of love you would find in a friend,someone you have known for a long time. That love feels safe and solid,but it doesn’t go anywhere. 

Eunome represents the type of love you would find in someone new. She is all about adventure,passion,and the discovery of self through time spent with another. She is about reaching out,discovering new things, and embracing love even when you are afraid it’s fiery passion may burn you. Eunome is rebirth,of yourself and the idea of love. 

I’m very happy to add her to my little family, and would really like to use her for WvW and PvP as I venture into those areas of my legendary journey!

Also huge shoutout to Anet for these gorgeous weapons. They.are.perfect.
